The conversion rules are defined in [Delphi2CS]\rules, the sub-directories are the UNIT name of the Delphi. You can add or modify the rules for converting the delphi objects or routines to the specified .NET class or methods.
The rule file includes the following targets:
- OBJECT
Define the rules for Delphi Object
Format: <OBJECT d="" c="" > d: the object name of the delphi c: the full name of the .NET object to which you want to convert delphi object. For example: Convert TForm to System.Windows.Forms.Form: <OBJECT d="Forms.TForm" c="System.Windows.Forms.Form" > |
- FIELDS
Define the rules for the fields of Delphi object
Format: <f d="" c="" s="" /> d: the fields name of the delphi object c: the member of the .NET obejct s: please set the 's' to 'true' if you want to convert the delphi field to a static member of .NET object |
- PROPERTIES
Define the rules for the properties of Delphi object
Format: <p d="" c="" s="" /> d: the properties name of the delphi object c: the member of the .NET obejct s: Please set the 's' to 'true' if you want to convert the delphi property to a static member of .NET object |
- METHODS
Define the rules for the methods of Delphi object
Format: <m d="" c="" s="" /> d: the methods name of the delphi object c: the member of the .NET obejct s: please set the 's' to 'true' if you want to convert the delphi method to a static member of .NET object. |
- EVENTS
Define the rules for the events of delphi object
Format: <e d="" c="" /> d: the event name of the delphi object c: the event name of the .NET object |
- EXTENDS
The extended delphi object
Format: <i n="" /> n: the name of the extended delphi object |
Please define the rules in the [Unit-Name]\Unit.xml. E.g: if you want to define the rule for FileAge() routine, you can define the rule in [Delphi2CS]\rules\SysUtils\Unit.xml.
We assume your unit-name is 'myunit', your component name is 'TMycomponent', you can create a directory 'myunit' in \rules\, e.g: [Delphi2CS]\rules\myunit\, and copy the template.xml to [Delphi2CS]\rules\myunit\TMycomponent.xml , then you can define the rules in the TMycomponent.xml for converting the TMycomponent's proeprties and methods to C#.
Btw, Please put your .NET library (myunit.dll) to the folder [Delphi2CS]\bin\, otherwise Delphi2CS can not handle your rules .
